I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Firefox ignoring a flag explicitly given by the user is a *bug*. I can understand how this behaviour arises from the implementation of Firefox, however, it still is and remains a bug. Denial does not make it a non-bug. Setting it to Wontfix (= not worth the effort) does not make it a non-bug. Arguing that this behaviour is "by design" does not make it a non-bug.

Enough people have independently reported this now to clearly indicate that this is unexpected behaviour, which, for an application interacting with mere users, constitutes a *bug*.

Sorry for the rant, but this flag is like an elevator whose '7' button goes to the seventh floor most of the time, except when it's on the fourth floor. It's just plain frustrating and obviously *wrong*.

Besides that, I wish you a nice day, and thank you for the summary. :-)
